sara turns size 4...

sara girl turned size 4 this week (monday) - we celebrated a bit over the weekend - again on monday - again on tuesday - and then she had one last hurrah at school today (thursday) with mrs. alana. on her 'real' burday, she got in bed with david and i early that morning and fell back asleep. i got the kids off to school and david off to work - and went back to snuggle with sara just to soak her up and reminisce about the last 4 years... when she woke up, she looked up at me with that sweet happy sleepy smile and said 'is TODAY my burday?' - i said "YES!" - and she said "YES" full of excitement back.... while quickly uncovering, she said 'i have to see how big i am!' (how sweet is that!? she thought for sure since she had gotten a whole year older, she had surely gotten bigger while she slept!). she asked me what size she was - i told her size 4! she asked me how big her feet were. i told her size 4! she asked how big her smile was. i told her size 4! how big her hands were, how big her hair was, how big her freckles were ... you get the point. i told her everything was a size 4 :) . i know all too well how soon she'll be size 5... thought i would share a pic of her with her barbie burday cake. she loves all things barbie these days! i have had this blog for months now and decided no time like the present to start USING it! take care - soon, s.
